What Can be Done With Cotton.
Redister, Oct. y.

Mr.. NJ. A. Ransom, farmer in
Aiken County, S. c., has furnished
the State Department Of Agriculture
report on an experiment he made
this year on one acre of cotton. 1t
shows what can be accomplished
with proper system Of fertilization
and cultivation.
The land on which che crop was
made was good pine land, with clay
subsoil. 1t was in oats last year,
but has been moderately well fer.
tilized for several years. The land
was broken early in March with a
turn plough, running six or seven
inches deep. In bedding six inch
shovel plough was used. followed in
same furrow with long bull-tongue,
breaking to the depth of ten TO eleven
inches, planted on low fat bed and
'.knocked off, with board. Good
stand was obtained. Chopped out in
usual way before running around
First ploughing or siding was done
with a cultivator, subsequent plough
Jugs with a sweep. The general plan
observed was deep breaking and
shallow cultivation. The entire cost
of producing the crop, according tc
an itemlzed statement furnished the
Department of Agriculture, includ
inc labor, fertilizers and average
rent of the land, was S54.02. The
product was 9ol pounds Of lint cot
ton which sold at nine cents pei
pound, givig return of sSl.O9, te
which must be added the value Of the
seed. fifty bushels, at 20 cents, low
price. $I0.00-making the aggregate
return s9l.O9. Deductiug cost, $54,
OF, leaves net profit on the yield OF
the acre of S36.02. Deducting from
the cost Of production the value OF
the seed. it Will be seen that the cost
of growing the crop was less than
5 ceuts per pound.
Mr.. Ransom conducted the expert.
ment at 'the request of the depart
ment, and he says in his report that
while the result is nothing wonder
ful. it is so satisfactory.-S37 pei
acre pro6t-as to make it an exceed
inglv favorable showing for the in
tensire system of farming, which he
thinks should be followed more gen.
orally by our farmers.

The Rival Of the Standard Oil Com
pany Goes Under.

CHICAGO, Oct. pa special from
Detroit says: The managers of the
Alpha Oil Company, the young rival
of the Standard Oh monopoly, have
made an assignment. Its capital,
with that Of branch institutions, was
s6,OO0,000. It's leading spirits are
the most prominent men of Detroit
and Michigan, with sprinkling Of
Cleveland milliorsires. Judge Isaac
Marston is secretary and treasurer of.
the International Oil company,
which has the same patents
as the Alpha, American branch.
of the organization. He says
the International company is
not affected by the troubles of the.
Alpha company and that the latter
concern will be reorganized end con-
tinued. Money had been so layishly
spent that the supply gave out. The
wages Of the workmen were rot paid
and law suits we're commenced, rep
resenting the claims of the laboring
men. The company decided its prop
erty to Mr.. Hall for 100000, and
Hall assigned it to Mayor Thurber,
Of Marquette.
According to the receipts this
leaves Thurber as the practical
owner. The outcome will be a mat
ter of great financial moment in De-
trois AMI Michigan. The company
has constructed pipe line to the
Canadian oil fields. built immense
machine shops and started bank
to conduct it's finances.
